The average running time of RT tasks is used to estimate the remaining compute
capacity for CFS tasks. This remaining capacity is the original capacity scaled
down by a factor (aka scale_rt_capacity). This estimation of available capacity
must also be invariant with frequency scaling.

A frequency scaling factor is applied on the running time of the RT tasks for
computing scale_rt_capacity.

In sched_rt_avg_update, we scale the RT execution time like below:
rq->rt_avg += rt_delta * arch_scale_freq_capacity() >> SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT

Then, scale_rt_capacity can be summarized by:
scale_rt_capacity = SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE -
		((rq->rt_avg << SCHED_CAPACITY_SHIFT) / period)

We can optimize by removing right and left shift in the computation of rq->rt_avg
and scale_rt_capacity

The call to arch_scale_frequency_capacity in the rt scheduling path might be
a concern for RT folks because I'm not sure whether we can rely on
arch_scale_freq_capacity to be short and efficient ?

Well, you put it in quite a hot path on the CFS side too, so it had
better be blazing fast anyhow.


That said, can you move all the running + invariance bits at the
beginning of the patch set, these appear to be the least controversial
bits and 'desired' by quite a few people, so we'll try and get those
agreed upon and merged first.

ok

I'm going to resend with the following order

sched: add utilization_avg_contrib
sched: Track group sched_entity usage contributions
sched: remove frequency scaling from cpu_capacity
sched: Make sched entity usage tracking scale-invariant
sched: make scale_rt invariant with frequency
sched: add per rq cpu_capacity_orig
sched: get CPU's usage statistic
sched: replace capacity_factor by usage
sched: add SD_PREFER_SIBLING for SMT level
sched: move cfs task on a CPU with higher capacity
